critical issues, like Abortion where he shot himself in the foot with his inclusion of "Local Political Leaders" in the decision making...very poor decision making for a man not recovering from a stroke.
As for John Fetterman, you are venturing into an area you have no 'bona fides' in when you diagnose him as being cognitively encumbered...a better choice for you would be to search out expert opinions, like that of the Neurologist in the linked article who does not state that JF is cognitively encumbered...in fact, he makes this statement in answer to a question...
-------------------
The majority of people who have strokes tend to recover with time and treatment, correct?
Most people who have strokes gradually recover. They may recover some functions better than others. If you take the language function, it tends to get better over time, and in a lot of cases it may get a lot better, very rapidly. In other cases it may continue to get better over weeks and months and even years. So that’s very variable. If you take somebody who has an injury to their vision, in the primary visual cortex, if it’s still there after a period of weeks, it’s probably not going to recover. Parts of the brain that are very specialized don’t recover well, and there are others that—I won’t say it’s not specialized, because obviously language is a very special thing, but it’s distributed and it’s organized in the brain in such a way that there’s the capacity for recovery.
--------------------
btw, If you watch the debate, while JF did have a difficult time responding to a number of questions...there were quite a few others where he was very clear in his reasoning and delivery...here is the debate...

Go to the 11:30 mark (Minimum Wage)...and the 15:50 mark (Abortion)...his closing statement at 53:00 is also worth noting.
